Hi Fabulous People
So lucky to have a forum full of support like this. It has been lovely reading everyone’s threads. I hope to be able to help in the future too.
My name is Claire and I am 36.
I found out this week I’m diabetic; they think T2. Thanks to my genes and lockdown sugar habit we think.
I am trying to get my head round the diet recommendations. I think I read you should aim for a total of 140g carbs? Is this right? If so what % should be protein and fat be?
Trying to get ahead of the game before seeing the dietitian as I don’t know how long that will take.
Downloaded the carbs and cal app as recommended by my nurse today it really is great. Just not clear on what ratios I should be aiming for.
fyi - I am 9lbs over weight, tummy fat is my issue, will start metaformin this week as we are trying for a family so need to sort the sugars out ASAP.
diet wise I have the added challenge of intolerances to all dairy, eggs, yeast, certain nuts and struggle to digest beans!
any hints or tips on how best to approach this all very welcomed.
